Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the R3 DSP Long Range Radar and Laser Detector, particularly its impressive range, performance comparable to the R7, and comprehensive radar detection capabilities. Many find it accurate and easy to use, especially considering the price. While false alarms are a concern for some, the device's GPS functionality and other features are appreciated, and the display is easy to read. The size is also seen as an improvement over the R7.

    The Uniden R3 has excellent range and does a very good job of filtering out other car's BSD. The ability to mute based on freq and location is great and prevents a lot of those annoying false alerts.

    Great detector with really good range. I have the R8 which costs twice as much but has only about 10% more range in my opinion. The HPD memory feature is nice since everything seems to run K band these days. The auto off after an hour makes sure to never run the car battery as well. Highly recommended

    Does not throw a lot of false alerts, I have not had any issues with it. K band does go off a lot near stores due to the auto doors.

    I've used this radar detector on an almost daily basis for over two years and never had any issues. It's very sensitive and has been a reliable and effective warning system that has saved me from potential tickets more than once. A great investment and much cheaper than a speeding ticket and increased auto insurance.

    This works perfectly and detects things way before I ever see them. It also has a feature to set up memory muting for specific spots where you know it’ll go off every day. If you do purchase this please consider looking at a blend mount set up. They work very well and it looks super great. Very satisfied with the purchase.

    The R3 is one of the best radar detectors I've used. The range is better than the R1 in my experience. Gps auto mute is great as well. Would definitely recommend

    This detector is the bomb, I mean that in the best way. I had the cobra 480i and it started driving me crazy with all the false alerts so I upgraded to this. It's like night and day, you can customize every thing on this puppy. As for false alerts with this model you just tap mark button and it recalls alert and stops it, COOL. I purchased a mirror mount and get power from my top console so no wires hanging, it's great. And firmware update was easy as pie.
